Criminal defense lawyers are no different than other service providers. They have to open files in order to stay in business and, regrettably, some will go to desperate measure to convince you to hire them. Every lawyer will “take” your case. There is really no such thing as a defense lawyer who will not agree to take your case anymore than there is a landscaper who will not agree to cut your lawn. With that in mind, it is important to understand what makes a great defense lawyer so you can make an informed decision before you hire an attorney to represent you.

If you have been charged with a crime and are looking to hire a criminal defense lawyer, ask yourself:

Does the lawyer seem knowledgeable?

Does the lawyer have a likable “bedside” manner?

Is the lawyer interested in your case or is the lawyer more focused on his practice?

At Hobson Law Firm, we strive to fit all of these characteristics. Not only do we have the knowledge to defend your case, we will make you feel comfortable and confident through the entire process.What Makes a Great Defense Lawyer?

A good defense lawyer can make all the difference in the world in the outcome of your criminal case. A great defense lawyer will be all of the following:

A professional advocate trained and educated in the discipline of criminal law, oral advocacy, the rules of evidence, and the Constitution

An officer of the Courts system

A colleague of the lawyer who will prosecute your case

The one player in your case whose primary duty it is to serve, protect, defend, and acquit you

If you choose to go unrepresented in your criminal case, you are leaving yourself at the mercy of the often-unfair system of criminal justice. As a defendant, the playing field is not even. A great Florida criminal attorney can level the playing field and make sure your rights are protected every step of the way.
